Huang Chuan's eyes lit up. He had reached a certain age and would not possibly experience another breakthrough in this lifetime. Since he has now been given the chance to break through to a high-level Martial Supreme, how could he let it slip by?
After all, Gao Lin and the Holy Doctor were only mid-level Martial Supremes. Once he successfully achieves this promotion, the position as Sect Master should easily be in the palm of his hands! It would no longer matter that Gu Ruoyun has powerful spiritual beasts in her hands, he believes that he would definitely be able to defeat one little lolita after his breakthrough!
"Thank you, Elder Feng." Huang Chuan smiled happily. In his heart, he could already envision the Holy Doctor and his disciple crawling beneath his foot. He could not help but look extremely pleased with himself, "Once I've avenged myself and successfully taken over as the Sect Master, I will never forget your goodwill."
Elder Feng nodded, all he wanted was Huang Chuan's wholeheartedness. Even though Wind Valley was a part of the First City, they still require help from powers on the outside! After all, it was not convenient for them to personally act on certain matters! If Huang Chaun becomes the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect, it would be a great boon to the First City.
...
Gu Ruoyun was seated cross-legged in the midst of cultivation in a guest room. Hence, she was not aware of what had transpired in the world outside.
Suddenly, she sensed a peculiar activity coming from the Ancient Divine Pagoda. However, before she could even think, she had been sucked into it by an unknown force.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, Xiao Zixie was seated on the floor of the Ancient Divine Pagoda with his eyes closed. His adorable little cherubic cheeks were now deathly white as a powerful energy fluctuated around his body. His little body almost looks like it would be torn apart by the impact of that mighty force.
Gu Ruoyun's expression changed greatly as she quickly rushed to Xiao Zixie's side in a flash and pressed both her arms firmly on his shoulder. Her eyes filled with anxiety as she asked, "Zixie, what's happening? What has caused you to become this way?"
Blood!
Fresh blood was trickling from the ruptures on Zixie's skin. However, the power from within his body continued to explode as if it wanted to rush out of him.
"Xiao Zixie!"
Gu Ruoyun's heart clenched fiercely. However, no matter how much she cried out, the little fellow in front of her did not move and looked almost lifeless. He did not react to Gu Ruoyun at all.
"Master."
Yunyao glanced at Xiao Zixie who now resembles a bloodied human. Her pretty eyes were filled with a thick sense of anxiety as she said, "Do you remember the power source he had received in the snowfield's forest?"
Gu Ruoyun nodded gently. At the time, Zixie had mentioned that the spiritual beast egg was a power source that he had once sealed away. The object has since returned to its master but that power source had not shown any reaction after entering his body. It had not even generated a breakthrough in his powers so why has it evolved in such a manner?
"In the ancient times, Zixie was extremely powerful. His power was so great that it was at a terrifying stage! Even though his strength had been severely damaged during a fight at that time, he was still almost invincible and far more powerful than his present state! Can you imagine how much power lies within that spiritual beast egg?"
Yunyao laughed bitterly. Once, Zixie had held a godlike existence and had been incomparably powerful. However, he has regressed to the childhood stage and his powers were now only a small fraction of what he used to have in the past.
"His physical condition is still too weak at the moment and can't possibly endure the full power that he had once held! It was fortunate that this was a power that he had once sealed away. If this were anyone else, they probably would have exploded and died the moment they had absorbed that power source!" Yunyao observed the bloodied Zixie and murmured exasperatedly, "Originally, he should not have absorbed the power source before he reaches adulthood. However, in order to prevent his power source from falling into the hands of another and to obtain enough power to help you, he had taken the risk and absorbed this energy source in a short period of time!"
